MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Minneapolis Police are looking for the public’s help to identify a man who robbed a grocery/convenience store in south Minneapolis on Oct. 4.

Authorities said the incident happened just before 10 p.m. on the 2800 block of East 42nd Street. The man was armed with a sawed off shotgun and demanded money from the cash register.
